How does CBT work for menopause?

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is a structured, practical form of talk therapy that helps you understand how your thoughts, feelings and behaviours are connected. It’s especially helpful during menopause, when hormonal shifts can heighten anxiety, low mood, and sleep issues.Rather than digging into your past, CBT focuses on the here and now — helping you spot unhelpful patterns and gently reframe them. It helps you to learn how to respond to symptoms like flushes when they do happen, so that these symptoms are less overwhelming and hard to manage day to day.If you’d like to learn more about CBT and menopause symptoms, the British Menopause Society has some great resources.

Our clinicians may recommend you start a CBT plan if this sounds like a good fit for you.
